Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to access networks that incorporate Ethernet aggregation. More particularly, and not by way of any limitation, the present invention is directed to a system and method for monitoring end nodes using Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) functionality.
- CFM Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management
- Current first/last mile access network solutions have significant shortcomings from subscribers' perspective, ranging from performance bottlenecks , fixed bandwidth provisioning, limited scalability, lack of flexibility and provisioning complexity to end-to-end quality of service (QoS) issues and a high cost structure .
- QoS quality of service
- Application of robust, simple Ethernet technology in the first mile promises to revolutionize the access network as it did in the arena of enterprise networks where it started out as a local area network (LAN) transport technology that is used to communicate between computers and networks .
- LAN local area network
- Ethernet offers three significant advantages over legacy first mile technologies : ( i) future-proof transport for data, video and voice applications; (ii) cost-effective infrastructure for data services; and (iii) simple, globally accepted standard that will ensure interoperability .
- OAM Operations , Administration and Management
- Ethernet CFM Ethernet Connectivity and Fault Management
- Ethernet CFM plane is envisioned as a hierarchically layered domain space wherein specific CFM domains (or, synonymously OAM domains ) are defined corresponding to the constituent network infrastructure and provisioning .
- CFM domains or, synonymously OAM domains
- two standards IEEE 802. lag and ITU-T draft Recommendation Y .17ethoam, incorporated by reference herein, that are specifically concerned with end-to-end Ethernet CFM define a customer-level domain at the highest level of hierarchy, which comprises one or more provider domains (occupying an intermediate level) , each of which in turn includes one or more operator domains disposed at a lower hierarchical level .
- the CFM domain space may be partitioned into a number of levels, e . g . , 8 levels , each domain corresponding to a particular level, wherein a domain is defined in terms of what are referred to as flow points .
- the flow points are new entities contained in the Media Access Control (MAC) "interfaces" and "ports" as defined in related standards documentation .
- a port can implement multiple flow points of different types .
- the flow points are generally referred to as ETH flow points and bound either a "Maintenance End Point” or MEP compound function or a "Maintenance Intermediate Point” or MIP compound function .
- a CFM domain having one or more MIP nodes may be bounded by a plurality of MEP nodes .
- the MEP/MIP population of an Ethernet CFM network is configured appropriately. For instance, in accordance with the current standards, an integer value may be provided to indicate a specific domain level of an Ethernet CFM hierarchy.
- VLANs Virtual LANs
- a Data Link Layer i . e . , Layer-2 or L2
- Ethernet Data Link Layer
- VLANs may be defined on different levels , e . g. , customer-level, provider-level, etc . , and can include any number of non-intersecting CFM domains .
- Service frame fields preceded with a "C-", e . g. , C-VLAN ID refers to customer-created fields .
- service frame fields preceded with a "S-" (e . g.
- S-VLAN ID refers to service provider-added fields .
- an end-to-end Ethernet CFM network may be partitioned into a number of service instances while preserving multiple subscribers' C-VLANs, wherein the traffic in a given VLAN is invisible to end hosts belonging to a different VLAN, thus reducing the broadcast domain.
- Ethernet CFM architecture as currently being standardized provides an impressive framework for addressing end- to-end Ethernet Connectivity and Fault Management at any level of the hierarchy, a number of issues remain to be solved.
- end nodes where access links that couple the end nodes (i . e . , customer network sites) to a metro provider network may operate in a non-802. lag environment, whereas the metro provider network may comprise an 802. lag- compliant network.

- the access network includes at least one access node connected to one or more end nodes and a broadband access server (BRAS) connected to a regional Ethernet network.
- BRAS broadband access server
- the method comprises : generating by the BRAS an Ethernet CFM frame directed to an access node associated therewith, wherein the Ethernet CFM frame includes a query message with respect to a particular end node served by the access node; interpreting the Ethernet CFM frame by an interworking function ( IWF) entity associated with the access node and constructing a corresponding query message in a native protocol compatible with respect to the particular end node; responsive to the corresponding query message from the access node, generating by the particular end node a reply message in the same native protocol or a different native protocol directed to the access node; interpreting the reply message by the IWF entity and constructing a reply Ethernet CFM frame including a response that corresponds to the reply message from the end node; and transmitting the reply Ethernet CFM frame to the BRAS .
